Jisoo, a member of the K-pop group Blackpink, has reached a significant milestone on Spotify with her solo single "Flower," accumulating 400 million streams. This achievement occurred within 354 days of the song's release, setting a new record for female K-pop soloists.

"Flower" served as the lead track from Jisoo's debut solo album, titled "Me," which notably became the first million-selling album by a female K-pop solo artist, amassing 1.17 million first-week sales. The song achieved further success by topping the iTunes top songs chart in 57 regions and entering the UK's official songs chart at No. 38, marking the highest position for a female K-pop singer at the time.

Last week, Jisoo took to social media to express her gratitude to fans on the first anniversary of the album's release. Reflecting on her debut solo endeavor after nearly seven years since her debut with Blackpink, she conveyed appreciation and affection to those who supported "Flower."
